Following the footsteps of Best Buy, Office Depot is launching a tech recycling program. But there's one major difference: Office Depot will charge you $5, $10, or $15 for each box of electronic recyclables you bring in. The price will help defray the cost of the box, shipping, and recycling your old computer parts and other electronics.

The recycling process will recover glass, plastic, copper, aluminum and other reusable materials. Office Depot, like many other retailers also offers free recycling for PDAs, rechargeable batteries, and ink and toner cartridges.

You can find a complete list of items Office Depot will accept for recycling at the company's Tech Recycling Services web page. But in a nutshell, you can recycle most computer components and peripherals, telephones, cameras, and audio/video equipment including small televisions. Office Depot will not accept appliances, cracked monitors, or items with liquids.

What do you think? Would you be willing to pay up to $15 to recycle a large box of your old gizmos? Or would you rather drive a bit out of your way to find the closest Best Buy offering free recycling?
